Fair And Tender Ladies

Fair And Tender Ladies - The Peasall Sisters

Come all you fair and tender ladies

Take warning how you court your men

There like a star on a summer morning

They first appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some loving story

Then they make you think they'll love you well

Then away they'll go and court some other

And leave you there in grief to dwell

I wish I was a little sparrow

And I have wings to fly so high

I'll fly to the arms of my false true lover

And when he'd ask I would deny

Oh love is handsome love is charming

And love is pretty while it's new

But love grows cold as love grows old

And fades away like morning dew

Come all you fair and tend to ladies

Take warning how you court your men

There like a star on a summer morning

They first appear and then they're gone
